. >> the question is, there's a distinction usually between the mailer and the tv ad, part of the problems this was a tv ad, part of the issue here to me is, there is -- the reason that i want to do this story is, there's something sick in our political culture in which everyone involved in politics worries about that kind of ad, which is the ad you were too soft on criminal acts, you let a person go. it has the result of everyone in politics, they have that sitting on their shoulder when they think about how they conduct themselves as a prosecutor or whether to be a defense attorney, when they think about whether to offer clemencies, as a judge, any point, they're thinking about that ad. >> that's the problem, you're right. and it really penetrates our system, it infiltrates our system in a negative way. everyone still does it, you want to know why they do it, there's a lot of mixed results out there about whether these ads work in terms of studies, if you look at the studies that seem to parallel reality the most, it shows that these ads do in fact work. this one typically, they say, th

this mailer, it gave voters an incorrect deadline to register, the wrong address for the state boardse voting procedure information. i mean, this sounds like a mailer intended to deliberately mislead voters. >> reverend, there's no question about it. and anybody in this country who walks around with their chest out, professing to be patriotic on one hand, and on the other, trying to put barriers in the way, to prevent american citizens from voting, is a hypocrite. and i think we see a lot of that today. we needed an attorney general who would step forth and fight against voter i.d. i hope that the new appointment from the white house, from the president, is someone who will say, look, there are certain things that i am going to challenge. if you don't want me to challenge it, don't approve my confirmation. we must have a strong attorney general now for reasons of fighting terror, but also for trying to make sure that americans, just americans like my dad, who is 92 years old in texas, and if he had to pay an i.d. fee to get an i.d., it's comparable to a poll tax. and we need an ag wh

but then for his mailers, he found the ugliest picture he could of me, he estimated the mailers greenso i looked a little bit like a witch so i could be this crazed woman you couldn't possibly trust with any power, so he used both sides of the coin, both the positive and negative to try to knock down my credibility. so the advice that i give in the chapter is know your industry, know the rules of the road for it, but then make your own decisions. if you want to wear whatever clothes you want to wear, you should wear whatever clothes you want to wear. and some women really aren't going to concern themselves, and i love what hillary clinton says about this, if i'm going to wear my glasses, i'm going to wear my glasses. i'm not going to spend time thinking about it. and i am not quite there yet. i go with the conservative black suit, the navy blue suits, simple and no distractions. but women need to know how they will be judged and then they can make their own decisions. >> you know, this horrible, horrible issue of the nfl is getting so much attention right now not just because the vide
